Interests.
Music - listening to it. my iPod is my special friend.
Books - the reading of. Especially comic fantasies such as Tom Holt and Terry Pratchett, and teen fiction, such as anything by Trudi Canavan, Tamora Pierce, Melvin Burgess, Sherry Ashworth. Jaclyn Moriaty, John Marsden, Garth Nix, Darren Shan. Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell write/illustrate incredible children's books.
Bands - watching them live. Learning about them, talking to them. Writing about them!
Cooking - it's great fun, and I'm quite good at it. However I do eat far too much. This must be stopped.
People - meeting new ones is great. Talking to new people, finding new friends.
Friends - they are very important. Katie, Serena, Will and Sarah.
I wouldn't say I was out to meet anyone on here. It's been a useful tool for finding out about new music, I have to admit! Celebrities wise - Sid Vicious if he wasn't dead and on drugs. The band Silvertide, Terry Pratchett, Tom Holt (are they as funny in real life?) Craig Charles, lots of other bands... Err, there's quite a few people I used to know I'd like to see again! Liv Tyler, Steve Tyler and Joe Perry are all DAMN cool!
Ah, music. Something that divides people on so many levels! I get withdrawal symptoms if I don't have anything to listen to. I love hearing new music. Listening to new music, and seeing new music.
One of my other favourite bands is Scouting for Girls .

I am obsessed with reading and books.
It would be impossible to write down a list of my favourite books, so I'll write about my favourite authors instead.
Melvin Burgess - Most definately my favourite author of all time. I love all his books, especially BloodTide, Junk and Sara's Face. also really like bloodsong, doing it (wrote my extended essay about it!), lady, loving april, tiger tiger...the whole lot really!
Trudi Canavan - the age of five and magician's guild series
Tom Holt - anything he writes. first ever was "falling sideways"
John Marsden - the "tomorrow" series is incredible.
Garth Nix - some of my favourite fantasy.
Tamora Pierce - good quality teenage.
Terry Pratchett - hilarious comic fantasy
Louise Rennison - amazing.
JK Rowling - but lets face it, now Harry Potter's over she's screwed
Dareen Shan - always good for a laugh!
Kate Thompson - switchers.
Catherine Webb - dreamcatcher/dreamweaver
These are just a few of the authors I enjoy reading...I consume most books at a stupidly fast speed, and will read almost anything.
Favourite genres are fantasy and comic fantasy (not as in graphic novels, as in fantasy thats funny! Terry Pratchett and all that.)
My favourite book of all time is probably BloodTide by Melvin Burgess. That along with Lady, Junk, Loving April, Tiger Tiger, BloodSong, Doing It and Sara's Face (his most recent) are some of my favourite books of all time.
I also enjoy some biographies, but they have to be really interesting! Anthony Kiedis' biography was one I really enjoyed.
My heroes?
Probably just people that matter to me.
That are good, kind, nice people, regardless of anything else.
Being famous doesn't matter, it's how a person acts regardless of their social status that makes them heroic.
